Many years ago, I had a miscarriage. I had told no one about the pregnancy as I wasn’t married at the time. Much later, I had forgotten that miscarriage until I went to see a well-known psychic. I had just graduated from chiropractic college and was moving to Austin. At one point, the psychic noted a rapping on the window. She said that indicated a spirit wanted to speak. She stopped to listen. She quickly turned off the tape recorder and asked if I had had an abortion. No. A miscarriage? Hmmm, yes, I did about 20 years ago. She turned the recorder back on and informed me that I had been carrying a little girl named Ivy, and that she was still with me and loved me very much. Tears rimmed my eyes. By the way, Ivy was my grandmother’s name, but the psychic didn’t know that and, in those days, there was also no social media to find out. Wow! It was love from a forgotten and unexpected source.
Sometimes, feeling that love can be hard for someone when you’re estranged at the time of their death. For instance, I had a contentious relationship with my mother for many years. I was relieved when she died, as I was released from her ongoing criticism.
She tried to interject herself into the sessions three times when I went to see mediums, and I would firmly tell the medium I wasn’t interested, that I wanted to hear from whomever I had come to contact. (Poor mediums. They must have felt exasperated.)
Then, 3 years ago, I took on the laborious job of going through 2 trunks of old family photos and letters, labeling them, culling doubles, making piles for friends and family members. I discovered a 1940s photo of my father, his brothers, and their wives. There was a young couple in the photo I didn’t recognize and it niggled at me. I set the photo aside, and it sat on the bar for weeks while I worked on the trunks and pondered. At some point, I switched over to reading old letters. Due to the volume, I gave most of them a cursory glance. However, I did pull out one from my mother, and for some reason, I read it thoroughly. Lo and behold, Mother mentioned by name the couple in question from the photo. Now that might not seem unusual if you don’t realize that I had a trunk full of letters, and to move through them all, I was just skimming most of them. I have no doubt in my mind that Mother nudged me to select and read that particular letter. I had to laugh. She wasn’t on my ancestor’s altar, and I suspected that, as a quadruple Leo with a Scorpio moon, she had been miffed that I had left her off. “Okay, Mother,” I said. “That earns you a spot on the altar.”
Two years ago, I took a course called “Getting to Know the Dead” from author, teacher and philosopher, Perdita Finn, who wrote a memoir, “Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World.” Perdita has an extra special relationship with the dead, to whom she talks every morning and asks for help with her daily concerns. Perdita had a troublesome relationship with her mother, but now that her mother has crossed to the other side, they have healed it. She inspired me to work on releasing my resentment toward mine.
So, I asked Mother for memories (Yes, I talk out loud to her and other deceased family and friends) of those times she was kind, and she placed some in my mind. It’s been a relief not to carry so much antipathy. I’m not saying everything is all worked out, but the love is beginning to show up.
I don’t know if this helps heal my ancestral lineage, but it surely has helped heal my relationship with my mother. This journey I am on has revealed a lot of surprises I find valuable, and I’m working on my mediumship skills.

Do you use any of the tapping (EFT) protocols on my site? I don’t know if they have value to you. If so, I would be happy to continue posting new ones. See them here. Let me know at [email protected]. I could start with helping to clearing the trauma and chaos from the insanity going on in the world.
💜 Lovely Little Things ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Continuing from last month, some ways the deceased may reach out to you:
Sometimes, the deceased manipulate reality
Impressions –
a widow or widower may feel the springs on the bed compress where a spouse once slept, and may even see the depression in the mattress.
Your pets share their love with you after they cross over. My friend, Larry’s beloved cat, Truman, was hit and killed by a car one day. Larry buried him in his back yard. He expressed surprise because, he told me, while he was falling asleep, he could have sworn he felt Truman jump on the bed that night.
Physical mischief – unseen spirits can tip pictures crooked, make objects fall off the shelf – anything to catch your attention.
Create rainbows at their funeral.
Electrical –
a. some turn lights on and off
b. They may turn the TV or radio on and off.
Watch for scents, sounds, and songs
Scents are what get my attention immediately.
You may smell cigarette smoke from a former smoker,
beer or whiskey from a heavy drinker, or familiar perfume or after shave that matches that of your dearly departed. It may be the scent of a favorite flower, or even something specific you associate them like turpentine, that lets me know my artist grandmother is around.
Sound
The bereaved one may hear their deceased loved one’s footsteps.
Widows might hear the husband working in the garage or shaving in the bathroom only to find that they aren’t there. Widowers might hear their deceased wife humming in the kitchen.
Songs
You may turn on the car radio and hear a song that you and your loved one considered as yours. Maybe it’s the song you danced to at your wedding. Or one you sang along together while you were dating. They aren’t making that song play, but they can put the thought in your head to be at a certain place at a certain time to hear it.
Next month, I will reveal more signs that our loved ones on the other side of the veil use to contact us. They really try hard to reach us, especially the first year after passing. Please share with me any signs you may have received from your loved ones beyond the veil. [email protected]

For a transformative experience, I recommend the giant-screen, 3D, immersive journey called Mesmerica here in Austin at the Bullock IMAX. If you are in another city, (32 US cities, 3 Canadian, 5 UK) it is likely playing there. It will inspire and relax you while stimulating your creativity. Hurry, as it will be leaving soon! If the tickets are all sold out, call Mesmerica and request an extended showing.

As most of my readers know, my job is to remove blocks to create more ease in the lives of myself and others to enhance the personal transformation process. The true nature of reality is barely understood, but I have a lead to help explore the extraordinary world of telepathy with Ky Dickens (thetelepathytapes.com) and neuroscientist Dr. Diane Powell as they delve into the remarkable telepathic abilities observed in non-speaking autistic individuals, discussing the profound implications for understanding communication, consciousness, and human connection.
I think you will be astonished as I am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qlppHc3-gg
